Then and Now
• Appox 400 million population
• Hunger and starvation • No food reserves -
Imports • Productivity challenges • Serious commitment of
the politicians to change this
• Private sector just beginning
• Approx. 1.12 b population
• Significant prevalence of poverty and malnutrition
• Bumper production in the last few years
• Grainaries over flowing with grain
• Distribution challenges • 100s of companies
operating across the country

BGRI
• systematically reducing the world’s vulnerability to stem, yellow, and leaf rusts of wheat
• advocating/facilitating the evolution of a sustainable international system to contain the threat of wheat rusts
• continue the enhancements in productivity required to withstand future global threats to wheat

“Take it to the farmer” • What does the farmer want;
– Higher yields • Disease resistance • Germplasm/Genetics • Traits
– Higher market price • Grain quality
– Lowers costs • Fertilizer • Pesticide • Irrigation

“Take it to the farmer” • What do we have
– Better germplasm, modern breeding tools – Hybrids – GM
• Our challenges – Climate change – Water – Inputs in general

“Take it to the farmer” • What does the processing industry want
– Price – Quality – Market

Wheat • Research related
– Rust resistance breeding (conventional and biotech), also surveillance
– High throughput molecular breeding platforms – GM traits (NUE, PUE, Water use, herbicide
tolerance……) – Quality
• Process or market related – Production – QA – Marketing and extension

Key ingredients for successful partnership
• Desire to bring about a paradigm shift in annual growth rates
• Common goal, research is only the beginning!! • Adoption of resistant varieties • Total support at the highest levels • Comparative advantages leveraged rather than
competition • Ownership of intellectual property • Alignment of policies to allow transfer of
knowledge, materials and value
